1st piece = x

2nd piece = x+2

3rd piece = x+2+3 = x+5

37 = x +x+2 + x+5 =

37 = 3x+7

30=3x

x = 30/3 = 10

 1st piece = 10 inches

 2nd piece = 10+2 = 12 inches

 3rd piece = 10+5 = 15 inches

Find X AND Y! pleas help me! only reply if you KNOW IT thank you

The measures of the legs of the right triangle are:

X = 2.5

Y = 4.3

<h3>How to find the values of x and y?</h3>

In the image, we can see a right triangle with a hypotenuse with a value of 5, and a known angle.

To find the values of X and Y (the legs of the triangle) we can use the two relations:

Sin(a) = (opposite cathetus)/(hypotenuse)

Cos(a) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse)

In this case, we have:

a = 30°

hypotenuse  = 5

opposite cathetus = X

adjacent cathetus = Y.

Replacing that in the relations we get:

Sin(30°) = X/5

Sin(30°)*5 = X = 2.5

cos(30°) = Y/5

cos(30°)*5 = Y = 4.3

Answer:

x = 95

Step-by-step explanation:

The total degree of a circle is 360. The twp arcs on each side of the parallel lines are equal.

Subtract 135 and 35 from your total

<em>360 - 135 - 35 = 190</em>

Divide your answer by 2

<em>190 ÷ 2 = 95</em>
